Our top kitchen gardens

When it comes to self sufficiency, we're leading the way at many of our kitchen gardens. From keeping rare breed chickens to growing organic Georgian prickly cucumbers, the fully working kitchen gardens on our estates are great places to witness the ‘plot to plate’ revolution. What's more, some of the sustainable and seasonal produce grown in our kitchen gardens is used in the delicious dishes made fresh in our cafés every day.

The walled garden at Hughenden

Part of the original Georgian manor house, the walled garden was built in 1749. Still productive with fruit trees and vegetable beds, today it is much more for pleasure than purpose. An ideal place to take a seat and soak up the serene scene.
